The article states that we should support the use of standardized tests in order to ensure that students are receiving the best education possible and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that these tests are not an efficient tool to improve education and refutes each of the author’s reasons. First, the reading states that standardized testing provides a standard for all schools to follow. The professor refutes this point by saying that they force teachers to teach the same material without considering the school’s and teacher’s teaching style. In that way, these exams take power away from the professors to use their own method. Second, the article claims that schools become more accountable for the success of their students. However, the professor contends that these exams are punishing underperforming students. He explains that better performances will signify more money for institutions. On the other hand, there is no consideration for schools with low performance to receive funding. For example, schools that are located in poor neighborhoods will have a impact on students’ grade due to the negative environment which they live and they will never receive the money they need. Third, the reading avers that the exams’ results could be used to provided help to those students who need it most. Conversely, the lecture refutes this point by stating that students who fail will not be helped. He explains that there are different learning styles and who matches with the test’s style will advance in their education, having the highest grades. However, these exams do not take into account people that have, for instance, a bad response to stressful situations. Thus, these students will never find help to this type of testing.
